The omission of Sunday in the foregoing
schedule is to give the birds chance to recu-
perate from their previous efforts. The Fed
Grafton prizes are chiefly medals and jewelry
but certificates are also issued. The average
speed of the birds over all distance is about
1900 yards per minute; above 1,400 is con-
Sidered something out of the ordinary, while
a bird which can travel over l 800 yards is a
phenomenal flyer.
The requisites for good 'homer" are a
broad chest, short body, round, full wings,
with close webbed feathers and a full. intel
gent eye and generally knowing appearance
Nevertheless, all these features may be pres
ent and yet the 'homing instinct in its full
perfection absent. Hence, only trial will tell
wat bird is valuable as flyer. They are
fed on Canada peas, wheat, sound corn, and
loft and an abundance of fresh water are
requisites. The bird undergoes no special
training for its journeys. Fanclers state

long time held up as a pernicious principle.
1t was so held up by majority Of the Cleve-
land convention of last year. Since then
trades-unonism has made rapid strides, es-
pecially among railroad employees, who are
tired of their present associations. One of
their leaders expresses it thus: 1--WE propose
having practical railroad men in charge of
our affairs-men who, in attempting to settle
our disputes, win understand all the details
OF our business. The day is past for truck
drivers, telegraph operators, coal diggers, or
shoemakers, of which the General Board is
now composed, to NEEDLE in our railroad con-
Germs. We must be allowed to attend to
them ourselves without interference from
any quarter" 1t is said that railroad en-
ployes from the Pennsylvania on the East to
the Union Pacific on the West are ready to
act on this idea. The shoemakers have also
given indications that they may join in an
assembly of their own. The coming conven-
ton at Minneapolis will probably be the bat
tie ground of this idea. Should it prevail the
Knights of Labor may become transformed
into federation of trades, form under
which the order might enjoy longer though
less belligerent career than is generally allot-
ed to it now by impartial judges.

A GRINDING MONOPOLY.
rnraol-l.,,, Ct,.a.a 49,:

The annual speculation in human suffer-
ing of the coal monopolists has already be-
gun. The suffering begins with the 100000
coal miners and their wretched wives and
every town in the land who cannot afford to
buy their winters fuel in advance. If the
government is unable under the law as it
stands to hold the wicked conspirators of
the coal mine railroad combination response
Die for the misery caused by this vile specu-
the government has made no apparent effort
to prevent it or punish those guilty of it, al
though 1t is far more important than the
questions with which it is concerning itself.

Commissioner Edgerton in conversation
with reporter is reported as saying that
the commission has no power; that the COM
missioners are simply onlookers; that there
is no punishment provided under the law
for a violation of its provisions, except re-
moval by the President, and that there has
been no case where the President has re-
moved person as result of any investiga-
ton by the commission. The investigations,
according to Mr.. Edgerton, have simply been
notices to the public that they are trying to
do something. Reduced to its lowest terms,
this amounts to an assertion that the COM
mission is humbug. No doubt that is
what Mr.. Edgerton thinks, and all his per-
formances seem to be directed to that end.

The Canadians do not look with much ia
yor upon the fisheries commission appointed
by Great Britain. Our neighbors have
hoped that Whenever the fisheries question
should be settled the trade relations of Can
ada and the United States would be consid-
cred; that is that the free Importation of
fish into the United States might be brought
about among other things. But there is a
reasonable doubt of the interest that Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, for one, may feel in
the trade relations of Canada with our coun-
try. Canada has lately raised her duty on
English iron to point very uncomfortable
for English iron masters; and there is a rea-
sonable suspicion in Canada that the man
from Birmingham may be inclined to retail
ate by letting Canadian trade take care of it.

The latest report is that the President has
not fully made up his mind to be candidate

Mitchelstown is one of the larger and OF

the borders of Tipperary. The black-thorn

The Portland daily press., 1887-09-13

Stated az Mr.. T. B. Gill stated it the shoot
Ing by the police at Mitchelstown was abso.
lutely indefspsible and was nothing short of
brutal Dlurder. Stated as Mr.. Balfour stated
1t the people become the aggressors and the
action Of the police was justifable on the
ground Of self defense. Under the most ia
vorable circumstances the facts of such an
affair are exceedingly difficult to ascertain.
when the great majority of the eye witnesses
have notions for misrepresenting them it is
practically impossible. The account of the
riot given by Mr.. Balfour says the people at
tackled the police who were escorting the
government stenographers to the speakers
stand, and that the officers were compelled
to IRE In self defence. The Nationalist side
Of the story makes the police the aggressors.
and charges that their conduct was in ac-
cordance with preconcerted plan adopted
for the express purpose of getting up riot
In order to create the impression in England
that the Irish were lawless and rebellious to
an extent to justify the harshness of the CO.
ercion bill. Whether this charge be true or
not, 1t is certain that the government will
use 1t for that purpose. Indeed they have
pcsuh w uo ~ already, ana tnelr journals
and their orators are already seeking to throw
the responsibility for it upon the National
lists and the Liberals who have been acting
with them. The great English public are
not so ready now, however, to believe any
thing said to the detriment of the Irish peo-
pie as they once were. The idea has taken
root in the minds Of the English masses that
Ireland has been for years, and still is, the
victim of persecution, and they are in favor
Of according her something like justice.
They win naturally ask themselves how they
would act, If the same barbarOus policy
which has been adopted toward the Irish
people had been adopted toward them, and
the answer will palliate if it does not
entirely excuse any indiscretion the Irish
may have been guilty of at Mitchelstown.

The recent experiment of the French gov
ernment in mobilizing one of its army corps
shows that the French are ready for a cam
paign, even to the last camp kettle, as the
Germans were on the outbreak Of the Fran
co-Prussian war. The youth of France by
thousands were summoned ON very brief TO-
tice from offices, farms and families to dress,
equip and be off wherever ordered. The
railroads were called upon to aid in the con-
centration of the soldiers into an army.
Everything was done upon a system that
has been deliberately planned out, but as the
experiment had never been tried upon an
extended scale there was considerable doubt
as to whether all the details of the
great plan could be carried out without clash
ing. With the result the French people are
highly pleased. The immensely of the task
may be judged from the fact that two hun
dred special trains passed in the vicinity of
Toulouse within twenty-four hours. Yet so
well were the plans made that no delay or
accident occurred. and even the unusually
large number of excursionists to the shrines
Of Lourdes and Bernadette were not delayed.
One Of the feats of the service is the rapid es-
Enlistment Of telegraph lines. On Friday a
detachment OF soldiers that had already
marched ten miles established line of tele-
graph over three miles long in an hour and
half. This is ct the rate of twenty miles or
more day, which would under ordinary cir
cumstances be as fast as an army would
march.

The Massachusetts Democracy are anx-
iously scanning the horizon for the appear
ance Of somebody to lead their annual forlorn
hope. Mr. John F. Andrew, Mr.. George
Stearns and Mr.. James S. Grinnel have all
declined In quick succession, and several
other gentlemen who have been mentioned
seem to be very reluctant to bite at the bait.
Leopold Morse can have it, and the Demo-
Gratis would be only too glad to give it TO
him, as he has a large barrel and is liberal in
dealing out its contents. But Mr.. Morse is
already member of Congress and he can
not quite make up his mind that it is his du-
ty to exchange his present position for the
honor OF leading the Massachusetts Democ-
racy to defeat, especially as he will be expect
ed to pay literally forth distinction in hard
cash. Among others who have received hon
orable mention are the Hon. Frederick Prince
and Judge Abbott but neither of them seem
to be very much elated in consequence.
